Donald Trump’s second stint in the White House is proving financially rewarding. According to new reporting from Forbes, the U.S. president’s net worth has surged from $4.3 billion in 2024 to $7.3 billion this year, a $3 billion jump that marks the most profitable stretch of his career.

The increase has catapulted Trump 118 spots up the Forbes 400 list, landing him at No. 201.

Crypto ventures and cash flow

A large share of Trump’s new wealth traces back to cryptocurrency. In 2024, Trump and his three sons launched World Liberty Financial, a project that initially struggled but gained momentum after his election victory.

The venture attracted big-name backers, including crypto entrepreneur Justin Sun, who invested $75 million. That support, coupled with the launch of a Trump-themed memecoin in January, added hundreds of millions of dollars to his holdings.

According to Forbes, World Liberty Financial has since generated about $1.4 billion through token sales, with the Trump family reportedly receiving a 75% share, over $1 billion. The memecoin alone contributed an estimated $710 million to Trump’s net worth, while the stablecoin business added another $240 million.

At the same time, Trump’s administration rolled back regulatory enforcement of crypto and signed legislation favorable to the sector, a move that critics argue has blurred the line between public policy and personal gain.

His digital tokens, once subject to a three-month lockup, now unlock daily, giving him steady access to fresh liquidity.

Beyond crypto: real estate, bonds, and global deals

While crypto has been a central driver, Trump has reportedly also used his newfound cash to shore up traditional assets. He paid off $114 million in debt tied to his 40 Wall Street property, cleared another $15 million in loans on residential properties, and expanded into municipal and corporate bonds.

His balance sheet now lists $8.4 billion in assets against $1.1 billion in liabilities, with over $1 billion held in liquid form. Other parts of his empire have also rebounded.

A New York appellate court tossed a $500 million fraud penalty in August, freeing up more capital. His real estate licensing and management business, once stagnant, recorded a 580% revenue increase in 2024, driven by new deals in countries such as Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, and the UAE.

Meanwhile, his golf resorts and clubs in the U.S. posted a 30% profit increase, adding another $325 million to his net worth.

Looking forward, Trump and his family have floated plans to build small villages at golf resorts in Scotland and Florida, according to Forbes.
